H5F_GET_INFO2

Returns global information for a file

Procedure:

H5F_GET_INFO2(obj_id, file_info)

Signature:

herr_t H5Fget_info2( hid_t obj_id, H5F_info2_t *file_info )

Parameters:
hid_t obj_idIN: Object identifier for any object in the file; may be a file, group, dataset, named datatype, or attribute
H5F_info2_t *file_info  OUT: Struct containing global file information

Description:

H5F_GET_INFO2 returns global information for the file associated with the object identifier obj_id in the H5F_info2_t struct named file_info.

obj_id is an identifier for any object in the file of interest.

An H5F_info2_t struct is defined in H5Fpublic.h as follows:

        typedef struct H5F_info2_t {
	    struct {
		unsigned      vers;	
		hsize_t	      super_size;
		hsize_t	      super_ext_size;	
	    } super;
	    struct {
		unsigned      vers;
		hsize_t	      hdr_size;
		hsize_t	      tot_space;
	    } free;
            struct {
		unsigned      vers;
                hsize_t       hdr_size;		
                H5_ih_info_t  msgs_info; 
            } sohm;
        } H5F_info2_t; 

The super sub-struct contains the following information:

  • vers is the version number of the superblock.
  • super_size is the size of the superblock.
  • super_ext_size is the size of the superblock extension.

The free sub-struct contains the following information:

  • vers is the version number of the free-space manager.
  • hdr_size is the size of the free-space manager header.
  • tot_space is the total amount of free space in the file.

The sohm sub-struct contains shared object header message information as follows:

  • vers is the version number of the shared object header information.
  • hdr_size is the size of the shared object header message.
  • msgs_info is an H5_ih_info_t struct defined in H5public.h as follows:
            typedef struct H5_ih_info_t {
                hsize_t     index_size;     
                hsize_t     heap_size;
            } H5_ih_info_t;
    
    • index_size is the summed size of all the shared object header indexes. Each index might be either a B-tree or a list.
    • heap_size is the size of the heap.

Returns:

Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
